Mighty Sombun is a female elephant who is more than 40 years old, but still very strong and very lively. She lives in Jungle Hut near Thailand's National Park. This is my first encounter with an elephant at close range. She's a cheerful creature, and even dances when requested.

Wow! This is a huge elephant. The last time I sat on one was when I visited Nepal a few years ago. Apparently we had to ride on one to get into the safari park where there were rhinos, who would not dare to attack elephants! Wonderful creatures.

Later i will show my son this picture i'm sure he will love it. He likes animals, i remember the first time we saw an elephant as big as this was during circus show in Milan ,Italy.Congrats K. Emer what a nice shot!!!
